A single mother goes to the country to marry a famous painter with a dead-mother fixation... and strange things start happening.
The influential American documentary pioneer Robert Flaherty spent three years making this celebrated film. Life on the island of Aran in the 1930's was hard. Families were forced to fight against the elements for their livelihoods. It was the custom of the men to await the annual migration of basking sharks. If caught they would provide a family with enough oil for a year but to catch them meant setting sail in a flimsy boat. Could it protect the fishermen against the pounding force of the ocean? The feature has undergone a new full digital restoration and the release contains a host of extra features including the documentary 'How The Myth Was Made' Short Film 'Return Of the Islander' (25 minutes) Short Films by Robert J. Flaherty: 'The English Potter' and 'Industrial Britain' Outtake footage found at the Irish Film Archive and an image gallery.
Available for the first time on DVD! Using montage techniques Naqoyqatsi combines forms of mass media altered with digital techniques to create a swirling chronicle of the influence of technology reflecting the ever increasing globalisation of the world and the societies contained within it.
February, 1983. Detectives are called to a residential address in the London suburbs following reports that the drains have been clogged by human remains. One of the property's residents, Dennis Nilsen a mild-mannered and unassuming civil servant is brought in for questioning, leading to the discovery of one of the most shocking and disturbing cases of serial murder ever to rock Britain. Offering a grim and gritty retelling of the story of Des Nilsen, often dubbed the British Jeffery Dahmer, 1989's Cold Light of Day stars Bob Flag (the face of Big Brother in Michael Radford's 1984) as Nilsen-cipher Jorden March, delivering one of the most chilling and credible portrayals of a serial killer ever committed to screen. From writer-director Fhiona-Louise, Cold Light of Day which picked up the UCCA Venticittà Award at the 1990 Venice International Film Festival is a hugely underseen and underrated British effort that can stand proudly alongside the likes of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer as one of the most unflinching true-crime films of all time.
